Well served by positive tactics, gaining third success of the campaign when making all at Beverley 8 days ago, by 1½ lengths from Just Hiss. May face some pressure on the front end here but he's clearly thriving at present and not dismissed.

3/1
Latest win at Newcastle in June. 13/2, creditable 1½ lengths second of 11 to Dogged in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 8 days ago, staying on well. One to consider from same mark.

Latest win at Carlisle in July. 10 lengths seventh of 11 to Dogged in handicap (5/1) at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 8 days ago. Needs to leave that behind if he's to figure here.

5/1
Ended losing run with plenty in hand at Southwell (11.1f) in February and quickly back to that level when third returned to that venue (12f) in April. Unseated start at Doncaster later that month but unlikely to be lacking for fitness returning from a break.

Eased in weights and duly capitalised to score at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago, notably travelling well. Equally as effective on turf so not out of things nudged up 2 lb.

Comes here in excellent form, following up her Carlisle success last month with another narrow victory at Beverley (10f, soft) 16 days ago. Well worth considering in hat-trick bid from 3 lb higher mark.

Losing run stretches back to 2018 but in the mix for a long way (following 10 months off) when sixth in 7-runner Newcastle handicap (10.2f) in May. Eased 2 lb but he's been absent again since.

Modest maiden who ran well below best when well held in a Leicester seller (11.8f, soft) back in May 2021. Missed whole of 2022 and the betting is likely to prove a useful guide on this belated return for his new stable.

DANDY'S ANGEL arrives in tremendous heart, bagging her third success of the campaign over this sort of trip at Beverley 16 days ago and having gone well at this venue previously (runner-up in this race 12 months ago) she could well be the answer. Just Hiss finished off well when runner-up to re-opposing Dogged at Beverley last week and that pair can feature again. Wolverhampton scorer The New Marwan completes the shortlist.
